acre loss included in forest gospel's favorites of 2009 - 12/04/2009

Forest Gospel included Acre Loss in their top 50 releases of 2009!

"Templeton's work is characterized by luxurious electro-acoustic melodies textured with various electronics and found sounds along the way. It is pretty common place in terms of ambient and drone based records, but Templeton must be just that much more charming than his contemporaries because he is somehow able to coax out platinum and diamonds when everyone else is only able to get gold and crystals."

sea point makes textura top 10 list - 11/30/2009

Sea Point 12 inch came in at number 5 on Textura's 2009 TOP 10s AND 20s EPS / SINGLES / 12-INCH DISCS!

"Maybe Mark Templeton should release all of his music on vinyl rather than CD, given how splendidly the 12-inch presentation of Sea Point captures the textural detail that's so much at the heart of his electro-acoustic music-making."
